Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show just got a little more "Bootylicious."

The R&B superstar, 31 -- who is headlining the big event on Feb. 3 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans -- will be joined onstage by her Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly exclusively.

Insiders tell Us the "Crazy in Love" singer will open the much-anticipated show solo; midway through her performance, Williams and Rowland will appear onstage and launch into a short medley of the group's hits, culminating in a brand-new song, "Nuclear," their first original material in more than eight years.

After, Beyonce will take center stage again for the big finale, which is said to include the debut of a track from her upcoming fifth album.

News of Destiny's Child's onstage reunion -- which will be their first performance as a group since 2006 -- comes hot on the heels of the Grammy winner's announcement that the trio is set to release a compilation record of their best love songs from past albums.

"I am so proud to announce the first original Destiny's Child music in eight years!" she wrote on her official website Jan. 10.

Beyoncé is ready to receive you now. From the chair where she's sitting, in the conference room of her sleek office suite in midtown Manhattan, at a round table elegantly laden with fine china, crisp cloth napkins, and take-out sushi from Nobu, she could toss some edamame over her shoulder and hit her sixteen Grammys, each wall-mounted in its own Plexiglas box. She is luminous, with that perfect smile and smooth coffee skin that shines under a blondish topknot and bangs. Today she's showing none of the bodaciously thick, hush-your-mouth body that's on display onstage, in her videos, and on these pages. This is Business Beyoncé, hypercomposed Beyoncé—fashionable, elegant, in charge. She's wearing the handiwork of no fewer than seven designers, among them Givenchy (the golden pin at her neck), Day Birger et Mikkelsen (her dainty gray-pink petal-collar blouse), Christian Louboutin (her pink five-inch studded heels), and Isabel Marant (her floral pants). She does not get up—a video camera has already been aimed at her face and turned on—so you greet her as you sit down. You have an agreed-upon window of time. Maybe a little more, if she finds you amusing.

You're here to talk about her big post-baby comeback (Blue Ivy, her daughter with Jay-Z, is a year old), which Beyoncé is marking in classic Beyoncé fashion: with a Hydra-headed pop-cultural blitzkrieg. This month, two weeks after she headlines the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVII, she will premiere an HBO "documentary"—more like a visual autobiography—about herself and her family that she financed, directed, produced, narrated, and stars in. This is a woman, after all, who's sold 75 million albums, just signed a $50 million endorsement deal with Pepsi (her flawless visage will festoon actual cans of soda), and will soon embark on a world tour to promote her fifth solo album, as yet untitled, due out as early as April. Who wouldn't want to know how she gets the job done?

Beyoncé Knowles was spotted wearing a high-waisted bikini during a photo shoot in the Bahamas yesterday. The singer looked relaxed as she lounged on a beach chair with a yellow flower in her flowing hair.

Beyoncé is currently staying in the Caribbean with her family while she works on her photo shoot. It looks like her 1-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, is along for the trip as well since Jay-Z recently shared a photo of her playing with Uno cards.

Beyonce was officially named GQ magazine's "Hottest Woman of the 21st Century" in its February 2013 issue. Check out her photoshoot for the magazine in the gallery!

The updated tracklist for new Destiny's Child compilation, "Love Songs", has been revealed and it contains a brand new song called "Nuclear" produced by Pharrell Williams! The final tracklist is as follows:

Beyoncé, James Taylor and Kelly Clarkson will perform the patriotic songs at the second inauguration of President Obama on Jan. 21, the inauguration committee will announce today.

Beyoncé, who's also starring at the Super Bowl halftime show next month, will sing the national anthem, always a tough tune to pull off well.

"I'm very honored to perform at the 2013 Presidential Inauguration," she wrote on her official website about the performance.

Taylor, the Sweet Baby James icon of '70s folk-rock, will sing America the Beautiful.

And Clarkson, the first winner of American Idol (2002), will sing My Country, 'Tis of Thee, the song with different lyrics but the same tune as the British national anthem. At the first Obama inaugural ceremony in 2009, soul diva Aretha Franklin sang it while wearing a memorable hat.

More announcements about entertainment at the inauguration are expected in coming days.

All this will take place during the public swearing-in ceremonies on the Capitol steps, when President Obama delivers his second inaugural address before a crowd likely to top more than 1 million.

Obama will officially take the oath of office at the White House on Jan. 20, as per the Constitution, but the repeat swearing-in ceremony, the inaugural parade, the lunch with Congress and the inaugural balls will take place on Monday.

The title of the upcoming HBO documentary about Beyoncé has been finally revealed! "Beyoncé: Life is But a Dream" will air on February 16 at 9pm ET and will be 88 minutes long.

My fellow Beyoncé freaks will relish the information I recently learned about her from designer Rubin Singer, who dressed her for a private Vegas concert on New Year's Eve: She's as lovely, polite, and generous as you were hoping. In fact, Singer says she and sister Solange Knowles are "the only celebrities that always dry clean and send clothes back in a box, with a hand-written thank you note. They are true ladies."

The process of creating a custom piece for Bey is as hectic as you might think--Singer had just two weeks to design the unitard, have the fabric embroidered in India, shipped back, put together, and customized at the fitting (which, incidentally, took place in the bathroom at the Alvin Ailey dance studio). "When you do a fitting with her, she doesn't keep you waiting half a day like some celebrities do," he says. "When she's there, she's present and honest and grateful."

That's not the only upside of designing for Beyoncé: "She and I have had a working relationship now for about five years," Singer says, "and in that time, I've been invited to every concert she's had in New York, she's introduced me to people she thinks I should work with, she and her team are just incredibly generous people."

The OMG Girlz recently got a very special handwritten note from none other than Beyonce, who thanked the trio for directly inspiring her to go by BADDIEBEY on Instagram. A few days before Beyonce joined the photo sharing network, OMG's Beauty, Babydoll and Star did a YouTube video for the myISH channel, naming their "Top 7 Reasons Beyonce Is a Baddie."

In the clip, the OMG Girlz gush about Bey's dancing skills, rave over her ability to "REALLY" sing and give her props for an acting resume that includes an episode of the late '90s comedy Smart Guy. "I think I saw that when I was like seven," Star says of Bey's cameo.

Beyonce was flattered, and writes in her note, "Thank you so much for the sweet things you said. You named my instagram !! FYI!" Also in the message, which is posted to the OMG Girlz's Facebook page, Bey adds that she's "very proud" of the group and says, "I hope to see yall soon."

To close out the message, she signs it as "Baddie B."

Beyoncé is reportedly in the Bahamas with her dancers to shoot a commercial for the summer campaign for H&M. Kimmie Gee posted a message on Facebook about rehearsing for something connected with H&M and Ashley Everett's mother confirmed on Twitter that it is a commercial.

@argirisdrew They are #commercial shooting! #exciting 

Beyoncé also added a couple of photos from the beach to her Instagram. Check them out in the gallery!

The camera phone stalkers were out in full force on Friday as Beyonce & Jay-Z popped up at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. The couple was spotted at the Black Jack tables and then headed back to their room arm in arm.

Beyoncé knew that Ne-Yo was irreplaceable when it came to laying down tracks for her 2013 album release. So, that means that right now, the two stars are plotting out songs set to appear on her follow-up to 2011's 4.

But, a lot has changed since Queen B released that set of tunes. Most notably, she welcomed into the world her first child, daughter Blue Ivy. And while Ne-Yo and Beyoncé used to cook up sassy, kiss-off anthems back in the day, Ne-Yo doesn't expect the way they work together now to change much just because she's added mom to her resumé.

"To be honest with you, no. No, it's pretty much, she's had the exact same drive that she's always had," he told MTV News about hitting the studio with Beyoncé. "She's not a person that slacks off in the studio. I mean it's not like slave labor or nothing like that; she's not cracking the whip. But it's definitely 'Let's get the job done; let's get the best song possible produced or written out of this experience.' And it's the exact same thing now."

Considering that Beyoncé and hubby Jay-Z have been pictured in the studio together during sessions for this release, Ne-Yo's next statement should come as no surprise to the BeyHive. You see, Hova seems to be quite hands-on when it comes to this release.

"Can't say. I can't say what kind of vibe. I can't. I can't give it away," he said. "I've been sworn to secrecy. Man, you're trying to get me into trouble. Come on! Jay-Z is not a person you want mad at you! I got to be quiet!"

Fans won't have to wait much longer to hear something from Beyoncé. New music is expected to drop in the coming weeks, timed to her February 3 Super Bowl halftime show performance. Additionally, she will be the subject of an HBO documentary airing on February 16.

Beyonce rang in the new year in style Dec. 31 the best way she knew how: Singing into a microphone and showing off her dance moves for a glitzy private performance in Las Vegas.

The "Love On Top" singer, 31, commanded the stage at the Wynn Hotel Las Vegas for a set that lasted nearly two-and-a-half hours, a source tells Us Weekly.

Before she ushered in 2013, Beyonce told the crowd, “I want you to think about everything beautiful in your life. I think that’s what you should visualize in 2013. So get that picture in your mind. I want you to think about everything you love.”

"She was incredible!” the showgoer says of the VIP event.

Bey donned custom designed outfits by European couture house Ralph & Russo for the performance, including a black-and-white rhinestone peplum number that she later posted to her Tumblr blog.

The singer was spotted arriving at a private airport in Vegas on Dec. 28 sans husband Jay-Z or daughter Blue Ivy, who turns 1 Jan. 7 (the couple's precious bundle of joy joined her musical mother in Vegas later on that weekend). Not that Beyonce traveled alone.

According to a source, Queen Bey was surrounded by "a lot of security people," and looked cool and collected in Shades skinny jeans and a leather jacket.

"It's hard to tell what mood she was in behind her big shades!" the source tells Us.

"I just saw Beyonce at the private airport in Las Vegas!" one Twitter user shared earlier in the day. "I think is safe to say she's the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen."

Jay-Z, who was in Brooklyn for New Year's Eve for his own concert with Coldplay, gave a shoutout to his wife during the sold-out show.
